[quote=Anonymous]We usually pay about $3000 for 5 days at a deluxe, including park hoppers.

We are probably like you -- I like the Marriott comparison! We do choose to stay deluxe because of proximity to parks, which is nice for our style of touring (we aren't dawn-to-dusk park people). But I've heard nice things about the moderate resortsm (Port Orleans in particular), which would bring costs down considerably without sacrificing the Disney experience.

Bay Lake Towers is going to be one of the pricer deluxe resorts because of its top location, plus I believe it's all suites. You could probably pay a little less at the Contemporary, which is right next door and a more traditional hotel. Value is even better in the Garden Wing of the Contemporary, which still gives you the benefits of a deluxe and the Contemporary's great location at a lower price point.

You can get the Deluxe experience for less at the Wilderness Lodge and Animal Kingdom Lodge, both of which are gorgeous properties but a little farther away from the parks. But we really like the Epcot area resorts, which are walking distance to both Epcot and Hollywood Studios. Again, we pay a little more for the convenience and the nice setting.

I don't recommend the dining plan because it really ties you to reservations too much. Unless everyone in your group is a big foodie or loves to eat, spring for a couple of nice sit-down meals then stick to quick service for everything else. [/quote]
